Storm King's Thunder + Against the Giants

Ren will also leave and go mingle with the citizens of the city before making his way to his Harper network contact for a more in-depth meeting. 

(OOG Where is his contact located?)

[Ren can walk to the marketplace, where a seemingly homeless woman is actually a Harper contact.]

Garn, a quite taciturn fellow and smith of Bryn Shander, sees the strangers: " What can I do for ya ? "

"Well met smith, I'm looking for a fine long bow and some arrows before I head out.  Had I one yesterday perhaps the giants would have fallen faster."  Erakas's eyes wander over the shop wondering if there is anything else he needs.  He places the gem he acquired yesterday on the counter.

(OOC - does Garn recognize Erakas as one of the defenders of the city yesterday?)

OOG Ehm no basically Garn does not care

Garn: " How many arrows? " He leaves hammer and pincers to take the Longbow.

(OOC - hehe ok - just curious)

"I'll take whatever'll fit in a quiver....as long as they fly straight!" Erakas chuckles at his own joke.  He notices Rockhand entered and nods in her direction.

"What do you know of the giants around these parts?" he asks of Garn.

Garn" Giants? They are big. And merciless. Stay out of their way, if you wanna grow old...2 pieces of gold for 80 arrows and 25 for the bow ." 

Ren walks up to the woman and smiles, "I have information, but I need some as well. Things have become...complicated. Is there somewhere we can be alone and discuss these matters?" He looks around to make sure no one is following him or paying too close attention. 

18 Perception roll...

Homeless woman: " Maybe you have some coin to spare, please ? "

Erakas offers up his gemstone and another 5gp

"Will this cover it?"  he picks up the long bow and tests its draw.

(OOC - I'd suggest an executioners axe if there is one and you can afford it - and if they actually exist in 5e - which I can't seem to find

if Erakas could have afforded it he would have asked about a composite long bow)

Garn take a lens to observe the gemstone. After a minute seems satisfied: " Yes. Your friend want something? "

OOG fire, there are basic weapons of all kind here

Knowing damn well that she is playing her game I slip her 5 gold pieces and say, "Now, let's find somewhere private, my friend." I make a sign with my hands, one that expresses urgent information to anyone within the network, the clenching and unclenching of the middle three fingers on my right hand. 

Erakas thanks the smith, collects his bow and arrows bids the smith good day.

He heads out the door and collects Marshmellow as he leaves.

Garn: " Better than that? If you mean a new one, yes I have. you take it ?"

Homeless woman: " So you are one who plays the harp..." She makes sure that no one pay attention to them: " Follow me...". She takes Ren in a alley, away  from prying eyes: " A pleasure to meet you. I am Beldora. What kind of urgent information do you speak of?"
